SPECIAL NOTE: In addition to the information in this package be aware that there is a set of WCSSAA and
District 8 Track and Field Playing Regulations. The Head of Physical and Health Education in each school
should have an up-to-date copy. All coaches should be familiar with these playing regulations.
ENTRY INFORMATION and PROCEDURES
1.
Entry Deadline
SUNDAY, MAY 10, 2015 @ 6 pm
Entries are due no later than 6:00 pm at Athletic.net At that point the online entry system will be
closed. If you have any problems email [email protected] Please respect this deadline. If one
school is missing it delays the entire process, which is a huge job that Jeff, Gary and Michael perform
for us.
2.
Entries
Please E-MAIL to [email protected] the name and email of your head coach and the person in
charge of doing the WCSSAA/District 8 entries.
Entries are to be done using Athletic.net’s services (http:// http://www.athletic.net). Entry errors have
occurred in the past which resulted in some very upset athletes and parents so please put a mechanism in
place where your athletes check that they are entered in the correct events and in the correct age group.
(i.e. Coaches should run a copy of their entries for posting so their athletes can check for accuracy). If
an athlete notices an error, then please e-mail Jeff at [email protected] before 9 pm or sooner if
possible on Monday, May 12th with the change(s). Please note that no changes to entries will be
accepted after this date unless it is an error created by the organizing committee.
3.
Seed Performances
It is expected that seed times (as accurate as possible) will be included with your entries for all track
events, including relays. Note that designating relay teams as "A" and "B" with no seed times does not
guarantee your "A" team would be in the fast section.
The 400m and the Intermediate Hurdles will be run as a timed final. The seed times will be established
by an athlete’s maxi-meet or Track Wars time or any OFSAA sanctioned track and field meet provided
an official result from the meet is submitted with the entry. If an athlete wishes to run the 400m or the
intermediate hurdles but does not have a verifiable seed time, they will automatically be assigned a No
Time and be placed in the slow sections.
4.
Number of Entries
a) Each school may enter an unlimited number of competitors per individual event and 2 relay teams
per relay event.
3
5.
Other Entry Information
a) Each competitor may enter three individual events of the same age class, plus one age class relay,
plus one open 4 x 400m relay
b) A competitor may enter an open, individual event but that event counts as one of the three events as
outlined in section "a" above.
c) An athlete who competes in one age class for individual events may compete on one higher age
class relay team.
d) An athlete may compete in a higher age class in individual events provided that he/she does so in all
events (including relays) for the season. [EXAMPLE: If you had five good midgets for the 100 m, then
you could enter your best one of the five in the junior 100 m BUT that athlete must then compete as a
junior at CWOSSA, Regionals and OFSAA.]
ELIGIBILITY
1.
All athletes entered in the WCSSAA and District 8 championship meet must meet the eligibility
requirements of their respective associations.
2.
Your completed entry forms with or without the signature of the principal will be considered your
eligibility list. It is assumed that you have checked the ages of all your students carefully.
3.
In order to be entered in the meet an athlete must have competed in at least one Maxi Meet or Track
Wars, during the current season. See the Maxi Meet package of information for more details.
4.
An athlete must be wearing his/her school uniform in order to compete. All members of a given school
relay team must be in school uniform.
C.W.O.S.S.A. ENTRIES (from WCSSAA and District 8 meet to CWOSSA meet)
1.
The convenor will automatically enter the top four WCSSAA and top two District 8 competitors in the
CWOSSA meet.
2.
Coaches are asked to do their best to declare any scratches amongst your CWOSSA qualifiers so other
athletes may be "bumped up". Every attempt will be made by the convenor to notify school coaches of
any athletes who get "bumped up" due to scratches. NOTE: Scratches after the CWOSSA deadline
cannot be processed.
3.
Coaches are reminded that special appeals for extra entries to CWOSSA must be made through the
convenor. Such appeals should be restricted to extraordinary medical reasons. The convenor will consult
with the WCSSAA/District 8 President before a ruling is made.

day.
5
4. Ties in Qualifying
The final decision is that of the track referee. In the past if two athletes tie in heats or semi-finals, then the athlete with
the better place of finish has been advanced. This is done to avoid the need for a runoff.
LANE ASSIGNMENTS
The top four seeds are placed at random in lanes 3, 4, 5 and 6 and the bottom four seeds are placed at random in lanes 1, 2,
7 and 8.
POST ENTRIES and SUBSTITUTIONS (NOTE CAREFULLY.)
No post entries or substitutions are allowed after the entry deadline of May 10, 2014. The one exception is that
a school may substitute on a relay team but the substitute must be an athlete who is already registered in the
meet as of the entry deadline. One alternate may be declared for relay teams at the time of entry.
COMPETITIVE EQUIPMENT
See specifications table in this booklet. You are reminded that shot puts, javelins, disci and vaulting poles are
not supplied by the convenor.
Weigh-Ins will occur at the following times:
Wednesday, May 13th from 8:00 – 9:00 and 12:30 – 1:00
Thursday, May 14th from 8:00 – 9:00 and 12:30 – 1:00
AWARDS
Plaques will be given to individual age class winners. Ribbons will be awarded for first to eighth place for
